Toledo il one Of these afflicted cities.
Her merchants believed that the bill
would bless Toledo, and so they blazesl
away Indignantly at members of Con
gress who distrusted its wisdom. The
act has hardly been in force a week, and
Toledo is violently enraged. because it is
seen that the long and short haul clause
tends to divert business from that place
to the multitude of small towns along
various lines of railway. Ifrates are adj
justed according to distance, these towns
can ship directly to New York or Bos-
ton more cheaply than by consignIng

Eastern manufacturers can be laid down
directly at the smaller towns more econ
omically without the Intervention of any

Military infallibility.

y contemporary thinks that the recent
order of the Secretary of War for dis
continuing the firing of the sunrise and
sunset guns at Governors Island and
other military stations. Is very hard on
the army, as it forces the men to consult
the almanac to ascertain when the sun
rises and sets.
This recalls "A good story that is told of
the late Col. Robert y. Scott, who died
recently, leaving unfinished his impOr-
tant work of editing the War Records.
After the war he was stationed at some
small fort in New York State over a gar
rison of less than twenty men, and there
was very little work to be done other
than performing the military ceremo-
MES and keeping up the garrison farm
and garden.
An amateur astronomer in the vicinity
took considerable interest in timing the
morning and evening guns. and became
seriously disturbed when their irregular
lty caused his chronometer to vary. He
had too much respect for the military
regulations, which said the guns should
go off exactly with the sun, to doubt
that the error was at the fort He made
| the calculations for that meridian and
found his chronometer correct But his
respect for the Government outweighed
even his reliance on his figures: so he

On getting them back with the Obser-
vatory Endorsement of their correctness
he was startled and shocked, and saw no
way but to lay the facts before the COM
mandant at the fort. Col. Scott received
him with affable dignity, and listened to
his tale of perplexity. Having heard
him through the. Colonel said:

some uncertainty about your timing the

gun, you may feel tolerably sure that

Some of the charges preferred against
the British War Office by the London
Times a few months ago have now been
proved by the report of Parliamentary
committee: This report relates to cut
lasses and sword bayonets supplied to the
navy since 1871, and it declares that
these weapons with which the navy
Is now for the most part armed" are .-ab-
solutely inefficient. Enthusiastically, and
unfit for service" The design made by
the War Office was bad, the bad design
was promptly accepted by the Admir-
allty; the weapons We're then very
badly made and inadequately tested by
the War Office, and were issued for SER
vice. Apparently it has taken sixteen
years to make these discoveries The re-
port also mildly criticises the system
under which such things could lee done.
but the Times asks if there are no indi-
viduals who are to blame The sys-
tenn" it says, lis nothing else but what
individuals make it. We are utterly
sick of the absurd official pretense that
departmental incompetence is compat-
ible with individual efficiency" These
revelations show that Great Britain can
not expect to do any creditabIe fighting
until her War and Navy Department ;
shall have been shaken up.

Again we must thank our weekly con-
temporaries for kind notices and friend
ly encouragement. when THE PALAr-
KA DAILY News began its work in this
city, the war in which it is still engaged
was forced upon it by dictatorial con-
temporary. which resented difference of
opinion as unwarranted opposition and
never doubted its ability to crush out all
antagonism. Wehave lived and fiourished
despite the burden of this fight, and it is
now evident that the war is one wherein
we should command the support of
every good citizen-it is a war of princi
pie against corruption and hypocrisy
it is the conflict between light and dark
ness-it is the struggle of order and de-
cency against the fraud ami misruIe

ance and strengthened by the proceeds of
villiany-and it is rdr to the death.

The Panhandle Robbery


1t is significant as tending to demon
strate the good influence of such labor
organizations as the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers and the Brotherhood
of Elremen, that no member of either
of these bodies is in any way implicated
in the robberies. The crews of the
freight trains, consisting of conductors,
fiagmen and brakemen, appear to- have
been alone concerned, though there are
intimatiOns that the gang had outside
connections, and those of the fence"
kind, have already in several instances
been discovered Perhaps the most sin
gular phase of the affair is the conf
dence with which the thieves pursued
their work. Though, of course, they
knew that the constant disappearance
of goods must be known to the COM
pany, and that active steps to- ascertain
the truth were certain to- be taken they
seem to have gone ON stealing as placidly
